The all-new Kia Sportage makes its global premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show, while the all-new Optima – revealed for the first time earlier this year – is being shown in European production specification for the first time.

Entering its fourth-generation, the new Kia Sportage compact SUV offers an innovative and sophisticated package to buyers in an increasingly competitive segment of the market. The all-new Sportage builds comprehensively on the success of the outgoing model, with an attractive, all-new exterior design, a host of advanced new technology features and greater quality.

The new-look interior is made up of higher quality materials and a modern new design, as well as improved practicality and a range of technologies to improve comfort, convenience, connectivity and safety. A range of new and updated engines and transmissions will result in enhanced efficiency and performance.

For the first time, a new ‘GT Line’ specification is available to Sportage customers. Designed and engineered to appeal to those looking for a sportier driving experience from their Sportage, the GT Line specification delivers all the versatility of the standard Sportage while adding greater visual and dynamic appeal to those customers who desire it.

The all-new Kia Sportage remains the brand’s bestselling model in Europe, accounting for more than a quarter of Kia’s European sales. The new model will go on sale across Europe in Q1 2016.
